Wyatt E
"WE WRITE MUSIC FOR GODS" – Wyatt E. statement could'nt sound more accurate. Deep, laid back, majestic instrumental sounds built from hypnotic synths and guitar layers... Introspective sonic adventure to elevate your souls and nourrish your spirits. Wyatt E.’s mixture of ancient Eastern elements and modern instruments and techniques creates a spectacular and almost meditative experience. Their live set is undoubtedly mesmerizing: playing across Europe, as well in festivals like ArcTangent, Roadburn (as Wyatt E. and as Atonia, collaboration with Five the Hierophant and MC Slice), A Colossal Weekend, Mystic Festival, Desertfest London, DunaJam, etc... and touring with Messa and Five the Heriophant.
After two years in the making, the band seals their long-awaited return in 2025 with the highly anticipated narrative sequel to “āl bēlūti dārû”: zamāru ultu qereb ziqquratu Part 1 (Music from inside the Ziggurat); is the first chapter of a set of 2 concept albums in which the band deepens its exploration of ancient Babylon with an almost mythical approach through the eyes of the exiled captives from Jerusalem. Featuring contributions from 7 international collaborators, zamāru ultu qereb ziqquratu is poised to become one of the most ambitious projects in the doom scene in terms of production & conception and will be released by the finest label in the genre: Heavy Psych Sounds. The album pushes sonic boundaries by featuring two drummers recorded simultaneously, creating the immersive effect of distant crowds. An eclectic mix of instruments, including the saz, viola, sitar, and bugle, blend with both analog and digital elements to enrich the soundscape. A nod to Turkish composer Fazıl Say is also present, with a quotation from his symphony Mesopotamia.
For the first time, two vocal tracks appear alongside the instrumental pieces. Iranian singer Nina Saiedi lends her ethereal voice to "The Diviner's Prayer to the Gods of the Night," sung in Akkadian, while Jerusalem’s choir conductor, Tomer Damsky delivers a captivating performance of Im Lelya in Aramaic adding a deep vocal layer to the album. The final mix, crafted by renowned producer Tim De Gieter, known for his work with Amenra, Brutus, and Absent in Body, brings everything together with a masterful touch.

Aus den weiten Ebenen Norddeutschlands kommend, beschwören EBBE die schwermütige und harsche Atmosphäre der sie umgebenen Landschaft mit ihrem rohen Hybriden aus Doom und Black Metal hinauf. Wie das Auf und Ab der unbarmherzigen Gezeiten der Nordsee lassen sie monolithische Soundwände erstehen und sie dann wieder in sich zusammenfallen. Eine mächtige und einnehmende Klangwelle, die einen tief in den Abgrund zieht und in kompletter Dunkelheit zurücklässt, umhüllt von undurchdringlichem Nebel.
